What's up squad, first time in a while that I've had a sec to write out a quality email, but we'll see if I even remember things that happened this past week.
First of all, this area is freaking awesome. The other Elders before me were working like crazy and built up a huge teaching pool. They also were best friends with the entire ward so they've been super helpful and we've been having family home evenings almost every night with them. Other crazy fun stuff is that we have a washing machine in this house and we live on the top floor of a three level apartment building, so we have a fun little view hehe.
But ya my companion right now, Elder Cruz, is a machine. He's been out for less than 5 months, but all he wants to do is work. It's been super cool having a companion that isn't afraid of anything that just talks to anyone and everyone in the streets. Super humble guy that is here just to love everyone that he can, shoutout elder cruz<3
Little highlight was a family home evening we had on Thursday. Elder Cruz and I were rushing to it from a different lesson we had and we didn't really have anything planned out, but we figured we'd pound something out on the fly. We got there tho and this family of four planned out the ENTIRE thing. We talked about the story of Job with an investigator that was there and the spirit was crazy strong, I couldn't stop smiling it was so sweet. At the end of it, we talked about baptism a bit with Juan Carlos (investigator homie that was there) and he told us that he believes in everything, but that he isn't prepared. Bummer.
More good news tho is that on Sunday we had 5 people show up to church! The fam of 4 that showed up was sweet, they're getting ready for their baptisms, they just don't know it yet. The other older dude, Ernesto, was awesome too. He ate up the Sunday school lesson and made some friends at the Church, he told us that he'd for sure be coming back the next week. Craziest part is that all 5 people showed up in their Sunday best, which never happens. Big time miracles.
Little bummer tho was that on that same Sunday, we went to go visit Juan Carlos to see what was up with him. He said he was feeling a little sick that morning and that he wouldn't be able to come to church. We got to his house tho and found a perfectly healthy, half-drunk Juan Carlos, hanging out with his buddies in his mechanic shop. He was super friendly with us but we didn't know what to say to him. Little step back for us, but we'll see what's going on with him this upcoming week.
All in all, definitely a major miracle week. After being in Vicente Guerrero for just one short transfer, I have been so much more grateful for everything that I now have. The opportunity I had to work with a tiny branch, start from 0, and to work with a brand new missionary was awesome and I'll always hold it close to my heart. I invite all you guys to take a second to see the good in your life, to feel happy and to say a prayer to thank Heavenly Father for everything.
Love you guys, love to hear from you all, peaceee
